Quite Strange

Sometimes I love to play around with my pics. I know that this pic of my funny Mila is quite strange - but I like the result of the editing.

Something Complete Different

No makro, no architecture... just my lovely little dog in the garden enjoying the summer sun. I took this pic with my Hasselblad and a 40mm Distagon... but I gave my Mila (her name) some cool touch, because it was so warm... Ilford Pan F Plus. I had a break for many many years with analog - so I have to learn again correct developing. Better a good negative than half an hour on the PC to make a nice pic out of a over-developed negative :) :)

Zampa

Mila

A beautiful little dog - and my best friend. Sometimes she is the model no 1

Morando

Morando, and old italian hunting dog that lives with us for more than four years now. He came to us from an italian dog shelter where he lived sindce he was born.
